In a weeks time...

Make sure, right now, you write down all your passwords and keep them somewhere safe!

Back up everything on your computer to an external drive, just in case!

Find where your local internet cafes are so you can check in!

Thanks! The latest news is that the provider is working on getting permission to get the cable connected to our street - it's fiber, as we have already. They don't have to dig, but can "shoot" it in, so hopefully that will go smoothly!

We got info that we can sign up on monday. I bet there'll be a queue of people in the office - and I'll be one of the first, even though I hate to get up early!

Karen, I have screen shots of all my settings for e-mail and I have important things on a key. My passwords I have on a list in a drawer - so I guess I'll be OK. However, this is SO important, so I don't want to screw up anything. This is a time when I really want John to be here. Well, I did change my provider two years after he died, so hopefully I can do it again without problems.

Whatever happens, I WILL check in on PT!

Oh Randi, we are going to miss you so I hope this goes smoothly and quickly. You are getting some good advice that I think I will implement for myself just in case.

Gini, the ones of you I e-mail with (I owe you one!), I will make sure we can keep in contact. I have a gmail account, also. I have a database called FileMaker Pro, that I have printed out with all addresses, e-mails and telephone numbers.

Please keep in touch and good luck!!

I'm sorry, I would be upset about that, too! I will keep my fingers crossed that it won't take long! I'd hate to be offline, would make me feel as if I was cut off from the rest of the world.
